Well, sunday I got the pleasure of taking my new warp feed out for its inaugural run.
It was a brisk 35 degrees with some moderately gusty winds. A total of 11 people showed up to play, half of them high-school or younger the rest well over my age. There were 3 Tipmanns, 1 spyder, my mag, and 6 cockers. I waited until everyone else was finished fiddling with their markers to pull mine out. Just the look on everone's faces was enough to make me happy with my purchase. First off, most of them had never even seen an Automag (they have all only recently upgraded from Spyders)- let alone a warped mag.
We played our first game and I, as I normally do, gravitated toward the position of Frontman. Let me tell you, I don't think i've ever seen a better upgrade for that position. I'd pop out of bunkers just far enough to get my shots off and drop back behind them. I managed to play four games without even so much as a splatter. As the day progressed and the temperature dropped, my accuracy fell. :( But that was because my paint was getting too cold. The only times i got hit was when i was attempting big moves. Most of the eliminations were on my chest. My mag only got hit once on a run, and the worst part is somehow it came from the right side, and missed the marker entirely, exploding on the right side of my warp, covering my marker and the warp in one fell swoop.
But overall, I have absolutely no complaints about its performance and i feel like i'm living a dream :D
